The nonsense posts are becoming a issue.

Well I've just created yet another new rule to try and combat the problem. See the rules thread.

So does this put me in danger now? I don't participate in the TWC area much, but i don't make nonsense posts. I'm confused.

Personally, I like PS/2 keyboards and mice more than USB ones. That way, I have my USB ports freed up for other devices. :yes:

How about wireless Mouse and Keyboard?

My results on Speedtest:



I'm not sure if it's impressive or not.

My two year old computer uses a PS/2 port for its mouse; I never really realized that they were on the way out. :blushing:

My uncle has a wireless mouse, but it needed some USB Port or connection to work it.

Yeah, that's usually how most wireless mice work. ;)

But most of them use batteries to work the Wireless stuff.

The receiver part is plugged into the USB port. The mouse itself uses batteries.

It's not the computer at fault, it's your connection. ;)
Well it's actually both. This computer has only a 1 GHz processor, which could be considered fast but certainly not compared to today's standards. There's also only 768 MB of RAM in this machine, and a rather low amount of harddrive space. My PC is 2.2 GHz, more memory and hard drive space, and I think I have a higher connection speed there.

Nope. If I've said it once, I've said it a million times. Your computer specs DO NOT HAVE ANY EFFECT ON THE SPEED OF YOUR INTERNET CONNECTION. The only piece of hardware inside your computer that effects your internet connection is your ethernet card, the card used to connect to the internet.
